Dominic

CH STANWIX CHASE THE WIND
30 AUG 02 – 1 JUN 10

Dominic was born early morning as a dreadful storm raged through Cape Town. We had been without electricity for most of the night and the whelping room was full of candles (very romantic!) the litter subsequently being named after the dreadful weather. He was 2nd born, weighing in at a hefty 525g – he was a very big baby and grew into a very big adult. But what a gentle giant, I have never had a Boxer with such a sweet, sweet nature, loving and being loved by everybody. (OK, except Rogan!) He was an absolute clown leaping round in circles whenever he was happy, talking at the top of his voice - he could hold a long conversation with anyone willing to listen!

In his day, Dom did well in the show ring, earning his Championship status as soon as he won his maturity CC at 18 months. His last triumph was taking the CC at the WPBC show in 2009 as a veteran, but, unlike his sister Rafaela who adored showing, he could take or leave the show ring. He loved to attend the shows, but was just as happy observing at the ringside, giving all the youngsters advice!

Dom had always been very healthy, but a few weeks ago he started having fainting episodes and after lots of tests we found had a tumor in his heart and an immune mediated anemia. He was treated in hospital and came home feeling much, much better when unexpectedly & totally unrelated he developed torsion and, as he would have been unable to tolerate the anaesthetic required for the surgery, I had to make the very difficult decision to say goodbye to my wonderful boy.

There is a huge gap in my life, as Dom was such a fantastic companion, walking partner and adored friend. He was a true, true gentleman.

I know it’s a wonderful place over the rainbows bridge, but I am going to miss you Dom, Nic, Pic my Bestest Boy in the Whole Wide World, Ever!

We received this sad email from one of our members:

Cracker (Ch. Proam Lethal Weapon) put to sleep

Yesterday at 5pm we had our beloved Cracker put to sleep. He had spondylosis and suddenly started falling and slipping all over the place on Monday February 1st. It was sad to see him like this. Cracker was the best boxer thing that ever happened to us. In terms of temperament and personality one couldn't ask for more in a boxer. As Caroline would say": "Best boxer you've ever had." He filled our lives with so much joy. We miss him and it will take a very long time to heal from this. He was eleven years and four months old. He was a part of everything we did,every decision we took whether it was to go to Pick and Pay or visit friends. His age and the appealing look when we went out, was the reason that for the past seven years we did not go on holiday because he always pined when in kennels. But yesterday we could see that he had come to the end - the end of an era.

Regards.
Helen and Ivan Smith
